Revisiting the Riots

Three years have passed since the 'riots' that shook England following the
shooting of Mark Duggan at the hands of the Metropolitan police. But as
Ferguson burns across the Atlantic following the shooting of Michael Brown
and yet another inquiry exposes the endemic corruption within the
Metropolitan Police force here in the UK, it is perhaps an appropriate
moment to revisit the legacy of the 2011 UK riots.

The Sociology Department at the University of Manchester, in association
with the Ahmed Iqbal Ullah Race Relations Resource Centre and the Race,
Ethnicity and Postcolonial Studies (REPS) network is delighted to invite you
to a screening of Fahim Alam's documentary, Riots Reframed.
(http://riotsreframed.com/)

The film pieces together the stories of those involved, whose voices all but
disappeared amongst the moral panic in the media and amongst politicians and
policy makers in the immediate aftermath of the uprisings. Furthermore, the
film also looks at the experiences of those who experienced the sharp end of
the UK 'justice' system afterwards.

Following the film there will be a panel discussion
